I ask myself this about 3x a day

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children. From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

crazy how Steve Miller was like: Feed the babies Who don't have enough to eat Shoe the children With no shoes on their feet House the people Livin' in the street Oh, oh there's a solution But Steven Miller is like: ABSOLUTELY NOT

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

This is an incredibly charitable take on the Democrats, and esp. Dem leadership who have gone out of their way to avoid even the suggestion of repercussions of any kind.

Unconstitutional? Yes. Not remotely about fraud? Of course. And yet, even if you accept either of those things as being ok, the basic argument is still that it’s better to let people die than for someone “undeserving” to benefit. Fucking ghouls.

"Trauma makes you stronger" Well, I don't want to be strong, I want to drink an iced coffee & buy things online

The only way I’ll regret skipping the State of the Union tonight is if It Happens during the speech.

I briefly thought the State of the Union was tonight, and I was so impressed that no one was bothering to talk about it on here. Like, we have tangible horrors in our communities, our homes, our workplaces, so why get worked up over a speech we already know will be racist and ugly?

(Whispering) Someday…

Extremely revealing details in this interview

Aged-up Bronte adaptation starring Helen Mirren and Anthony Hopkins called Werthering Heights.

“Me too,” said a field mouse. “I have not seen anything funny in a long time.”

“…this is a hard world to be ludicrous in.” — Kurt Vonnegut, MOTHER NIGHT

The not having it is off the charts.

This duet cover of Radiohead's "Creep", between a son and his Shastriya Sangeet classically trained mother, is the mash-up I didn't know how much I needed in my life. Totally spontaneous sobbing may have taken place. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZoH...

Go ahead and try to guess the context for this post.

One of my all time favorite albums!

“…clearly at the forefront of whatever this is…

This shit rocks and the comment section on the YouTube video is, somehow, extremely funny.

Shadologist here. This is not funny! Shadows only do this when they are in distress.

if the drop shadow is doing this your book is haunted

WOW sir okay that is called TOXIC MASCULINITY how dare you try to INTIMIDATE me I am just standing here

Masking at a meeting

Red tape is supposed to be hard. When you're neurodivergent it's... yeah.

Saying "Lincoln was a Republican" is like saying “Kevin Spacey won an Oscar.” Technically it’s true, but a lot of shit has happened since then

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

We've reached the Orwellian stage of the ICE discourse in which Democratic politicians are asking their liberal fans to believe that the big problem with masked men committing violence and murder is the masks, not the violence and murder.

Those parrotfish think they’re so cool with their new lipstick.

(Explaining contemporary journalism to a someone who just woke up from a coma:) You know those parasites that sort of hollow out a wasp so it can’t do waspy things to benefit its hive and instead is just a horrifying zombie? Anyway, that’s the Washington Post.

I’m not sure why I would expect the NYT to know what “opaque” means.

Today is Groundhog Day! That means it's time for you to (re-)read @sirosenbaum.bsky.social's delightful profile of the writer of GROUNDHOG DAY (1993)!!!! The piece is a complete banger and it will cheer you up, guaranteed!!!!

God DAMN this guy and that FUCKING button

I thought for sure this was an old quote. He said this statement this morning.

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

Video of the day for me.

Because there will be confrontations, there are confrontations, there are fights. We should win them and we shall. With love in our hearts, for each other.
